more faeces or dregs, and it will be well purified and prepared,
In order to continue the preparation of the materials,
4. Put a parcel of aqua-fortis into a glafs matrafs, and add
three ounces of purified fal armoniac, that is to fay, fikred and
whitened, till it leave no fasces or dregs, as has been fhewn in
common fait; then diflblve a quarter of an ounce of filver in
that water, and flop the veffel well.
5. Put alfo another pound of aqua-fortis into another glafs
matrafs, with three ounces of purified fal armoniac, that is to
fay, filtred and whitened till it leave no faeces or dregs, as has
been fhewn as to common fait; then diflblve a quarter of an
ounce of filver in that water, and flop the veffel well.
6. Put alfo another pound of aqua-fortis into another glafs
matrafs, with two ounces of fal armoniac; when it is diffolved,
put into that water cinnabar and crocus martis calcined with
fulphur as above ; of ultramarine and feretto of Spain prepared,
of each half an ounce, having reduced all to a fine powder;
this muft be put in by little and little, for feair of breaking the
veffel by the fermentation which they make with the aqua-
fortis ; then flop the matrafs.
7. Put a pound of aqua-fortis into another matrafs, and dif-
folve it in two ounces of fal armoniac as before ; add to it of
crocus martis calcined with calcined tin, known among the
glafs-men; of zaffer defcribed and cinnabar, each half an ounce;
powdering them all very well, putting them in by little and
little, as before ; then flop the matrafs.
8. Put alfo another pound of aqua-fortis into another matrafs,
and diflblve in it two ounces of fal armoniac ; then add an ounce
of fmall leaves of copper calcined, half an ounce of fcales of cop-
per thrice calcined, half an ounce of manganefe of Piedmont pre-
pared, and half an ounce of fcales of iron, which fall from the
fmith's anvil, the whole being reduced to a fine powder ; which
throw in by little and little as before, then flop it well.
9. Put another pound of aqua-fortis into another glafs bodv,
and add to it two ounces of fal armoniac : the diffolution bein«-
made, put to it half an ounce of red lead, by little and little,
and one ounce of fcales of copper, half an ounce of crude anti-
mony, and as much caput mortuum of vitriol purified, all being
reduced to a fine powder; then flop the matrafs.
10. Put another pound of aqua-fortis into another glafs ma-
trafs, with two ounces of fal armoniac ; add to this water orpi-
rnent, white arfenic, and painters lake of each half an ounce ;
let the whole be finely powdered, put them into a matrafs by
little and little as before, and flop it up well.
It has not been repeated at each operation, that you mufl fet
your matrafs on an afli furnace over a gentle heat, or in a warm
bath,
